Here's a refreshing, novel gift to bring to the host or hostess. Give them the makings for cafe-style Italian sodas to spruce up their beverage repertoire. Include a bottle of Torani Italian syrup (in a flavor such as Black Currant), an upscale brand of sparkling water, throw in some limes if you like, and voila! For a twist of alcohol, you could switch out the Torani syrup for Cassis, a French black currant liqueur.
